w123 heat only works when i turn key?
My heat only works in my 85 euro 300D when I start car and turn on heat then move my ignition key - just a tad to the left. Has anyone encountered this? What is the fix?

You need to replace the electrical portion of your ignition switch. Very common problem i have seen it a lot.

never did get around to doing anything - then yesterday I met a guy test drive it (after I drove it and met him) and he kept turning key and now it goes all the way to the right and nothing happens. I am going up there this morning and making sure battery is fine and lites come on - and will see if glow plug lite will come on. My son says AAA will come out and do some repairs if I know exactly what to tell them.

I had this problem with my 87 300TD.
There are three parts to the "ignition" switch: 1. Lock barrel. This is the part the key fits 2. Flat connecting rod. This part joins part #1 with part #3. 3. Electrical switch. This part contains the contacts and a rotary arm that moves in concert with part #1, via part #2. On my car, part #2 failed. It twisted, and did not allow the rotary arm in part #3 to make contact with the starter terminal. For simplicity, I'm disregarding the steering column lock mechanism.....  Jim

Cleaning the copper contacts on the back of the ignition AND slightly pulling FWD the tabs to add more tension is a fix if you don't want to throw cash at a new one.
